Clean Water Year Round With the ProLake 1.3 Aeration System

Is your pond turning murky, cloudy, or building up sludge and scum on the surface? Stagnant water starves fish of oxygen and lets unwanted bacteria take hold. Give your water the oxygen it needs with a ½ horsepower system built to clean and clear ponds and lakes up to 3 acres. Push up to 5.3 cubic feet of air per minute through the entire water column, keep your fish healthy, and enjoy clear water season after season. You even choose your exact setup, from a cabinet-only build to a complete kit with diffusers and weighted airline.

Oxygenate the Entire Water Column and Improve Clarity

ProLake ProLake¹ 1.3 Aerator water column oxygenation diagram with rising bubbles and 50 foot depth

The problem with most ponds is depth. Deeper water sits still, loses oxygen, and lets sludge and bacteria collect at the bottom. This system fixes that from the ground up.

  • Full water column oxygenation pushes air from the pond floor to the surface, breaking up stratification.
  • Higher dissolved oxygen means fish and aquatic life live longer and healthier.
  • Clearer, better-quality water as circulation reduces stagnant zones and scum buildup.
  • Diffuser depth up to 50 feet, so even deep ponds get complete coverage.

Lake bed aeration is the foundation for maintaining proper water quality, cutting down the conditions that let algae, bacteria, and odor thrive. ProLake 1 Aeration Systems are designed to clean and clear smaller ponds and lakes measuring up to 4 surface acres.


Non-Clogging Duraplate Diffusers Built to Last

Perforated grey Duraplate diffuser for the ProLake ProLake¹ 1.3 Lake Aeration System delivering fine air bubbles

At the heart of the system are the Duraplate™ diffusers, engineered to keep working without the maintenance headaches of cheaper units.

  • Non-clogging and self-cleaning, so air keeps flowing without constant attention.
  • Rugged construction that withstands 500+ lbs., far tougher than thin plastic or metal alternatives.
  • Shrouded, protected parts that keep debris and predators out.
  • Kit configurations include 3 Duraplate diffusers for wide coverage across your water.
  • Lifetime warranty backs every Duraplate™ diffuser.

Industry Exclusive Programmable Timer for Full Control

ProLake ProLake¹ 1.3 Aeration System cabinet interior with Keeton compressor, blue manifold and programmable timer panel

You decide exactly when your water gets aerated. This is the only aeration system on the market that comes with a programmable timer, giving you control most systems simply can't match.

  • Seven-day, 24-hour control for precise scheduling.
  • Power outage backup and permanent schedule retention so your settings survive interruptions.
  • Manual override and a locking hasp for hands-on adjustment and security.

Inside the cabinet you'll also find a custom-built compressor, a high-volume cooling fan, a pressure gauge, and a fully adjustable, brushed aluminum 4-port manifold that makes future expansion easy. It all lives in a durable, sound-deadening cabinet with 3/4 inch thick walls that keeps operational sound to just 50/60 decibels.


Why an Electric ProLake 1.3 Pond Aerator Makes Sense

ProLake ProLake¹ 1.3 Electric Aeration System benefits grid showing eco-friendly efficient year round run

Even a remotely located pond can get quality aeration. Electric operation keeps your water clean and clear all year, running during the day and all through the night, even on cloudy days.

  • Green and eco-friendly operation that's safe for the environment.
  • Very little maintenance once it's up and running.
  • Energy efficient design that helps cut cost and save power.

When you first install any aeration system, expect a short adjustment period where the aerator draws up poor-quality water and organic debris from the bottom. This is normal. As the system keeps running, it works through those conditions and your pond turns around over time.


Flexible Placement for the ProLake 1.3 Lake Aeration System

Electrical hook-ups aren't always right at the water's edge, and that's fine. The cabinet can sit wherever power is convenient.

  • Install away from the water near your existing electrical connections.
  • Run the cabinet up to 4,000 feet away using a 1/2 inch PVC line to a remote manifold.
  • From that remote manifold, airlines run out to the Duraplate™ diffusers.

This makes the system a strong fit for HOAs, golf courses, recreational and retention ponds, farm ponds, ski parks, aquaculture ponds, and zoological displays.
